Guitar 2 - B F#/B 



-Verse 1-



Guitar 1 - D2 C/D2 B/D2 A/D2

Guitar 2 - B A/B G#/B F#/B



WHEN I'M COLD AND ALONE

ALL I WANT IS MY FREEDOM,

AND A SUDDEN GUST OF GRAVITY

I STOP WAILING AND KICKING

JUST TO LET THIS WATER COVER ME

COVER ME

ONLY IF I REST MY ARMS, REST MY MIND

YOU'LL OVERCOME ME AND

SWELL UP AROUND ME

WITH MY FIGHTING SO VAIN

WITH MY VANITY SO FAUGHT,

I'M ROLLING OVER 



-Chours-



Guitar 1 - C/D2 A/D2 D2

Guitar 2 - G#/B F#/B B



'CAUSE IN JUST THE SAME WAY

THAT THE STREAM BECOMES SWOLLEN

SWOLLEN WITH COLD UP OVER THE GROUND

WHEN MY HEART DRAWS CLOSE

TO THE CLOSE OF AUTUM 

YOUR LOVE ABOUNDS



-Verse 2-

ALL THE TIME I'M THINKING

WONDERING HOW WOULD IT BE

TO BREATH IN DEEP

GUESS I NEED TO BE CAREFUL

WHEN I ASK FOR A DRINK

JUST MIGHT GET WHAT I ASK FOR

AND I KNOW JUST WHAT YOU'D SAY TO ME

THAT'S WHY I DON'T ASK YOU

WHAT WOULD I ASK YOU

LIKE A BULL-HEADED BOY THESE DAYS

CRYING "MY TOY'S GONE"

YOU'RE SHINY AND NEW



(REPEAT CHORUS)



-Verse 3-

I GUESS I'LL DROP MY ANGER HERE

BEFORE I FLOAT AWAY

AND THE CHAINS AROUND ME

AN AWFUL LOT OF TALKING

I DON'T LEAVE YOU MUCH TO SAY

YOU DIDN'T EVER LEAVE ME

AND MY GREATEST FEAR

WAS YOU'D LEAVE ME HERE

A LONG TIME BACK MY FEET

COULD TOUCH THE BOTTOM
